Living in New York City for five years as a transplant from
Ohio, illustrator and T-shirt designer Nathan Pyle was fascinated
by the unique habits and unspoken customs New Yorkers follow to
make life bearable in a city with 8 million people (and seemingly
twice the number of tourists). Nathan decided to draw his favorite
tips and etiquette lessons and post them on the internet, where his
12 original panels went viral immediately and became the basis for
this hilarious illustrated book (check out the fully animated
ebook, too ).
In NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette, Pyle reveals the secrets and
unwritten rules for living in and visiting New York including the
answers to such burning questions as, which cabs should I try to
hail? What is a bodega? Which way is Uptown? Why are there so many
doors in the sidewalk? How do I walk on an escalator? Do we need to
be touching right now? Where should I inhale or exhale while
passing sidewalk garbage? How long should I honk my horn? If New
York were a game show, how would I win? What happens when I stand
in the bike lane? Who should get the empty subway seats? How do I
stay safe during a trash tornado? Each tip is a little story
illustrated in simple black and white drawings.
Visitors and newcomers to New York will love it because the
advice is smart, funny, and not condescending. New Yorkers will
love it for its strategic and humorous approach to mastering the
daily chaos of the city.
